Health Sciences Academy Newsletter Bringing together research, innovation and clinical practice
The Health Sciences Academy hosted a workshop event on Saturday 18th January 2020. The theme of this event was “Bringing together Cancer Researchers and Clinicians”.
This was hugely successful from a networking perspective, bringing together clinicians from UL Hospitals Group and researchers
from University of Limerick. Each attendee provided a three minute presentation to introduce themselves, their areas of clinical interest and areas of research interest- past, present, future.
This ‘Mix & Mingle’ event between attendees identified areas of common interest between UL and ULHG, helping
inform future research collaboration and clinical practice integration.

Diabetes: After substantial input and expertise from across all three organisations (ULHG, UL & CHO), the scope of two projects have been identified and working groups are being created: 1. Gestational Diabetes 2. Self-Management Programmes – referral and adherence.
Junior Health Sciences Academy: Collaborative working group has been established focusing on ‘Early Careers’ for secondary school students. The themes of this project are: interprofessional health sciences career information, leadership and health promotion.
Collaborative Cancer Research: Following the success of January’s workshop between clinicians and researchers, Senior Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at UL and Consultant Haematologists and Radiologist from ULHG are working on innovative research in the area of Haematology Cancers.

Energy Pod Launched in CERC, UHL January 24th 2020
An energy pod has been installed in the library at CERC to provide a secure rest facility for staff and help them overcome fatigue and stress.
This is a pilot project co-funded by the HSE Library and the National Doctors Training and Planning (NDTP). It is supported by the College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland.
The purpose of this project is to provide a rest facility to doctors, nurses and other clinical staff, particularly those working on the night shift. The hospital library is accessible 24/7 to all staff and students who have swipe cards.
All staff are welcome and encouraged to try out the pod for themselves.
The Social Determinants of Health Ireland Conference 2020, was held in Limerick at the CERC on February 27th.
With the aim to bringing people from a wide range of organisations together, there was a lively discussion on the various factors that influence health.
With a diverse range of local, national and international guest speakers and attendees it was the perfect opportunity for the Health Sciences Academy to network and share the aims and objectives of the HSA.
